Island vet Joe Hollins gives Jonathan the tortoise a much needed clean.
The world’s oldest living animal is starting over with a clean sheet at 184 years old – after a vet gave him his first ever bath.
Jonathan the giant tortoise has come out of his shell after centuries of grime were carefully scrubbed off his back with a loofah, soft brush, and surgical soap.
The famous reptile was over the moon with his make over and is now ready for a VIP visit to his historic island home.
